Hi!

The parport autodetection seems not to work correctly now (doesn't work
with any other from 2.1.52). I've a standard ECP/EPP parport on 0x378, irq
7, dma 3. Autodetection finds irq 8, which is certainly wrong (that it
doesn't find a dma channel is a minor problem IMHO). Therefore the rtc
driver then can't allocate irq 8 and fails to install the rtc device.

There are a lot of FIXME's in the parport_pc file, so I suppose it's just
not done yet (and it works fine if you specify the parameters via lilo or
modprobe).
